The styles can vary for candle warmers, ranging from table lamps (where the heat emits from above to melt your candle) to ceramic bowls to hot plates. The one consideration to note when shopping for this product is that oftentimes candle warmers do need to be plugged into an outlet to work, making where you place it kind of crucial. However, once you find that suitable spot, be it on your nightstand or end table, there are a variety of chic and sleek selections to choose from. An Amazon reviewer favorite is this one from Cozyberry for its ability to melt wax and disperse the scent well, while I personally love how aesthetically pleasing this wooden option from Aikut looks. Most candle warmers also have a dimming light feature to double as a night light in your home.

When turned off, this warmer looks like a decorative vase. When you plug it in, the warmer illuminates a glowing light and emits a fragrance while it melts the wax. "It looks fragile but it is sturdy," reads one five-star review. You can melt incense oil or wax on top of the vase. It's stylish enough to live in your home gym, meditation space, or office.
There are several reasons why you may want to use a candle warmer instead of burning a candle. One is because the smoke from a burning candle can contribute to indoor air pollution within your home and it can leave your walls with black soot. When you warm a candle to melt the wax, however, there is no soot produced. Additionally, if you often forget to blow out your candle before you leave the house, the warming products are better options for you as they pose less of a fire hazard.
And for those with a favorite candle you don't want to burn through too quickly, good news: Candle warmers may actually make your product last longer. The slower the wax melts, the slower the fragrance oil will evaporate. Thus, you get more bang for your buck.
